Warhammer's crafting system is tied to PvE play and it is, by far, the weakest part of the game.

It's pretty abysmal, actually. You can be an Apothecary (potion maker) or a Talisman Maker (socketing talismans into your gear boosts stats), and these are supplemented by gathering skills (Cultivator, Butcher, etc.). The Cultivator literally grows plants and uses a watering can. Picture this if you will: Your evil-to-the-core Chaos Zealot, slayer of Good and champion of Darkness, works part-time as a first-rate grower of shiny green seeds and uses his trusty watering can to make them grow happy and strong. World of Warcraft caught some flack for its flower-picking skill, but this takes the cake and has absolutely no connection to the world of Warhammer. (Unless you're a Halfling from the Moot or a peasant farmer of the Empire -- keep your mitts off the watering cans.) The crafting comes off as an afterthought, and either needs to be completely redone or scrapped altogether.
